JAIL! Barr Given The Order – Criminal Charges To Be Filed Against Corrupt Obama-Era Official

The Department of Justice announced on Thursday that it will move forward with bringing criminal charges against arguably one of the most corrupt Obama-era officials who played a crucial role in the Trump-Russia investigation.

According to Fox News, the DOJ will be moving to indict fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.

U.S. Attorney Jessie Liu has recommended to Attorney General William Barr that McCabe be charged for lying to federal investigators and potentially illegally leaking information.

McCabe — the former deputy and acting director of the FBI — appealed the decision of the U.S. attorney for Washington all the way up to Jeffrey Rosen, the deputy attorney general, but he rejected that request, according to a person familiar with the situation.

The potential charges relate to DOJ inspector general findings against him regarding misleading statements concerning a Hillary Clinton-related investigation.

A source close to McCabe’s legal team said they received an email from the Department of Justice which said, “The Department rejected your appeal of the United States Attorney’s Office’s decision in this matter. Any further inquiries should be directed to the United States Attorney’s Office.”

Wow. Reports that a U.S. Attorney has formally recommended pursuing CRIMINAL CHARGES against former Deputy FBI Director and CNN analyst Andrew McCabe for lying to investigators.

Hopefully this is merely the beginning of long overdue accountability. Justice will be done.

Federal prosecutors are not only looking into McCabe possibly illegally leaking sensitive information to the media, he is also reportedly being investigated for playing a role in the FBI’s handling of the Russia probe into Trump.

Investigators are still looking into whether he intentionally lied to investigators about improperly leaking sensitive information to the media a few weeks before the 2016 presidential election.

In October 2016, he allowed sensitive information downplaying the severity of the Clinton email scandal to be leaked to The Wall Street Journal.

McCabe was fired for his “lack of candor” and lying to investigators four times about leaking the information.

That’s not all.

McCabe also admitted earlier this year that he, former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, and other top FBI officials met in mid-2017 to discuss using the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office.

McCabe wrote in his new book that the meeting and conversation took place after Trump fired former FBI Director James Comey in May 2017.

The 25th Amendment of the Constitution details a procedure where the vice president and a majority of Cabinet members vote to remove a sitting president from office if they deem them unfit to serve.

In Sept. 2018, it was reported that Rosenstein implied to McCabe and other senior officials that he wanted to secretly record conversations he was having with Trump.

Maybe McCabe will flip on other corrupt Obama-era officials to save himself from potentially going to prison.
